I think Trace only won against LEV and VIT because of the map pool but we'll see. Still possible

America clears

KRÜ win, LEV win ez
All 4 Teams in Playoffs

APAC washed
EMEA trash as always
CHINA maybe the only regional contender this year with2 teams cause ChokerX will lose against EDG

G2 winning champs, coming back to this

Swap DRX with VIT and its fine, not perfect but acceptable

lets wait until they play a team with better teamplay

Leo wont be an option. I would love to see Sayf going back to Team Liquid with nAts as Sentinel, Trexx as Initiator, Patitek as Flex but idk about the IGL. Sad to see one of the biggest orgs not qualifiying for any international event.

and they did well, love to see that. but still lets wait for the final outcome who makes playoffs and from which region are the most teams because it can still go either way. I don't like being biased only because a team played shit once. what matters at the end of the day is to get far in this tournament and i really hope china can earn their respect now with a good playoffs performance.

Half of the team is ass but if sayf manages to deliver they can still qual

And they're still getting underestimated by ur whole region while they're atleast Top 4 itw in my opinion because of their insane teamplay

Now i have to edit my reply aswell ty

Its just starting to get balanced right now. No region is far ahead anymore

and sayf had a super bad day. theres a world LEV getting grouped if he performs

best duelist in the world after zekken shut up

Yeah and MiniBoo mssing aswell. Instead he put Alfajer in that list because hes a biased fan lmao

my goat kai will diff aspas on jett

2-1 TE

EU KEKW

am i biased thinking that vitality will still qual over trace and talon? i mean if sayf plays like he usually does they should be able to beat both of them

go watch their voice comms video. hes the one talking and thinking so that the other players can shine.

ur joking right

DRX looks really good tho but lets wait until the match is over. You cant compare regional with international. PRX always dominating their region aswell to choke international

For FPX its really hard but possible. EDG looks good so far but yeah BLG wont beat KRÜ and FNC/DRX.

although they lack discipline, I think they will win cause of their firepower compared to FUT but we'll see

I agree with DRX but not with EDG until they beat PRX in decider because I don't think they'll win against G2

Yeah they need to bring back CIS Challengers

EU KEKW MiniPoo is ass hahaha

every match is a emotional roller coaster

I swear idk if u ever watched cod champs or something like that its so entertaining when they stand up

PRX vs TH on Split was a banger

I feel like this decision could affect the team chemistry even tho it would be a good move

unluckiest team ever yeah swiss stage was close against both th and geng and now again probably. I guess they beat SEN to lose again in decider meanwhile theres a chance for trace going into playoffs. thats rigged

basketball is quite nice aswell

America isn't even a country but if u mean USA u are probably right actually. But if u compare the US with some other countrys with a smaller population there might be some better country percentage wise.

It all about the rematch vs FPX because I think they beat SEN in their current form. FUT is not gonna make it. Vitality has still a pretty good chance tbh even tho they played shit. TLN is ass and then Trace rematch. If Sayf performs its possible.

Vitality is the only upset tbh. Not suprised if EDG wins here. FUT is mid. But sadly Vitality is relying on the performance of 2 players and on of them didnt perform thats basically why they lost

I think the only team which played Yoru this year in americas was sentinels. But I havent seen Neon/Yoru together yet. Usually everyone plays Raze w/ double Initiator, double Controller

I feel like its the same reason so much teams struggle against FPX. They're really hard to read especially with these weird comps compared to NA/EU

TE ban Icebox
VIT ban Abyss
TE pick Sunset
VIT pick Ascent
TE ban Bind
VIT ban Haven
Decider is Lotus

Yeah even if they win champs I can't see it

FNC wont get grouped wtf. Dont compare them to ur washed ass team

I mean both losses were expected tbf. But its too funny they were laughing about LEV in Shanghai and now this team is their biggest hope even tho theres only one north american on the team and hes the worst out of those 5

I love how NA glazing KRÜ after the first map but after this loss they will probably say its SA

yeah it looks like they dont have any ideas. u know whos the igl rn? stax was it before right

Bro why are they just running site every round without any ideas wtf

I would guess some NA kid said that. They're delusional anyways, no one cares about their opinion

Fly to china, start making yourself a name, make a team for china challengers, win ascension china, qualify for the next Masters and win the first trophy for china

I love this guy. Every round last alive. Hes playing so disciplined and consistent.

swap LEV with G2 and DRX and its perfect

upper semis was really close tbf TH also couldve won it. But it seems like it doesnt work anymore picking sunset all the time especially against a team like vitality with a very similar map pool. lower semis was just shambles. bad teamplay, mentally weak and I just think VIT read them very well but I do think sometimes its just a specific team which is hard to play against for u like for FUT its TH. Ofc Vitality can do good but I wanna see them beating strong teams except TH to really believe in them.

nah ur right I share ur opinion on that kinda. my only point was I could rather see SEN than PRX in finals for example. If they play with discipline, fix their mappool a little bit and if TenZ, Johnqt and Zekken start going clutch again.

I didnt think they could do it in Madrid aswell and they did, everything worked for them. So maybe if they get back their confidence und gain momentum its possible. But I agree TH has a better chance getting up again especially if all individual players get back in their peak form firepower wise and shit
